USCIS recently announced that beginning Feb. 27, 2024, certain Ukrainian citizens and their immediate family members displaced by the Russian invasion and paroled into the United States, will be able to request an extension of parole (re-parole) for up to two additional years.

E-Verify+, our highly anticipated next generation service is coming in 2024!

The “plus” in E-Verify+ represents the benefits the new service provides to employers and employees alike. E-Verify+ provides employers added efficiency and employees more control over their personal information.

E-Verify+ answers the call of the modern workplace by streamlining the Form I-9 and employment eligibility verification process into one seamless experience, and it is on track to be available later this year!

Staffing agencies have a variety of business models - they may function as the employer of the employee or serve as a matchmaker for other employers who hire employees.

Staffing agencies must create E-Verify cases for all their new hires. This means that if an E-Verify-enrolled staffing agency is required to complete a Form I-9 when hiring, the staffing agency is also required to create an E-Verify case for that new hire. Staffing agencies cannot avoid creating an E-Verify case for an employee merely because a client requests that the staffing agency not create an E-Verify case.

E-Verify service for case creation has been restored. Users are once again able to create and submit cases without experiencing system timeouts and increased processing times.

As a reminder, E-Verify cases must be created no later than the third business day after the employee starts work for pay. If the case is being created 3 or more days past the employee's first day of employment due to this intermittent system outage, you must select “Technical Problems” as the reason for the delay when creating the case.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
